Reception

edit

Beat Magazine said "Tkay's verses hitting premature dead ends to only give way to an excruciatingly choppy chorus hook. Producer Bad Cop tries to cram countless buildups, using a garish blend of dancehall and dubstep, none of which result in a satisfying drop."[1] OutInPerth called it "an infectious underground rap hit."[2]

In 2020, Red Bull retrospectively reviewed the song saying "The track introduced then 17-year-old Tkay as a formidable talent. It also typified the sound of her early years -- a blend of hip-hop and fun, energetic electronic music. Her sound has evolved a lot since then, but 'Brontosaurus' remains a banger.[3]
